When the ignition is switched on, the various display functions can be accessed via the selection menu, e.g . the driving data disp lay (multifunction display (MFD)).
There are no buttons on the windscreen wiper lever in vehicles equipped with a multifunction steering wheel. Operation is exclusiv ely via the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel.
The scope of the menus and information shown in the instrument cluster display depends on the vehicle electronics and the vehicle equ ipment level.
A
qualified workshop can program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment
level. Volkswagen recommends us ing a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Driving down hills
The steeper the gradi ent, the lower the gear you
will need . Lower gears increase the braking effect
of the engine . Never allow the vehicle to roll down
mountains or hills in the neutral position N.
• Reduce your speed.

Stopping the vehicle and pulling away when
driving uphill
The steeper the incline, the lower the gear you will
need.
If you wish to stop the vehic le or pu ll away when
driv ing uphill you should use the Auto -Ho

tion
~page 196.
When you stop the vehicle on an incl ine and the
vehicle remains in gear , the vehicle must always
be prevented fro m rolling by depress ing the brake
pedal or
by applying the electron ic park ing brake .
The brake pedal or the electronic parking brake
should
not be released until you pull away ~CD.
Freewheel driving with dual clutch gearbox

In
freewheel mode, the momentum of the vehicle is
used to save fuel with a foresighted driving style.

The launch control programme enables maximum
accelerat ion from a stand ing start .
• Switch off TCS ~page 179.
• Depress and hold the brake pedal with your left
foot.
• Move the selector lever to position S, or into the
Tiptronic position. Alte rnatively , select the Sport
driving mode in vehi cles with Driv ing Mode Selec

• With your right foot, depress the accelerator un
til the engines speed reaches approximately
3,200 rpm.
• Take your left foot off the brake ~ ~. The vehi
cle will start with maximum acceleration.
• Switch the TCS back on after accelerat ion.
A WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction
and skidding, particularly on slippery roads .
This can cause you to lose control of the ~e
hicle, which can lead to accidents and sen·
ous injuries.
• Always adjust your driving style in ac·
cordance with the flow of traffic.
• Only use kickdown or fast acceleration if
visibility, weather road and traffic conditions ' t permit, and other road users are not put a
risk due to the acceleration and the driving
style.

Interrupting or automatically stopping the
parking procedure
The Park Ass is t system will stop the parking proce
dure if th e following happens :
• The 8 button is pressed.
• The ve hi cle spee d when parking is higher than
app roxim ate ly
7 km /h (4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
• The parking procedure was not completed with
in approximately 6 minutes of activating the auto
matic stee ring intervention .
• There is a system fault (system is temporarily
un ava ilable) .
•
The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate .
r::l The Park Assist system has system-related
l!J limitations . For example, the Park Assist sys
t e m cannot help you to park the
vehicle on tight
b e nd s.
r::l Wh en parking parallel to the road , a warning
L!J signal can be heard to tell the driver to switch
between driving forwards and reversing because
the change
of direct ion should not take place in the
permanent tone area
of the ParkPilot.
r::l The progress bar in the instrument cluster
l!J display will symbolically indicate the relative
distance remaining .
W If the Park Assist system turns the steering
l!J wheel when the vehicle is stationary , the 6l
symbol appears as well. Depress the brake pedal
so that the steering movement takes place with the
vehicle stationary, keeping the required number of
parking movements to a minimum.
r::l If the parking result worsens after a wheel is
~ changed, the system will first have to syn
chronise
itself with the new wheel. The synchroni
sation procedure is carried out
automatically while
the vehicle is in motion. You can support this proc
ess by driving slowly (less than 20 km/h (12 mph))
through a bend, e.g. in an empty car park.
